PLUMBING

The name American -Standard , for more than half a
century, has meant quality and progress. It is
your guide to efficient, economical and modern
Plumbing Fixtures which serve to the utmost the
Nations Health and Comfort.

The wide acceptance of American -Standard
Plumbing Fixtures and Fittings is based upon a
long, unbroken record of manufacturing high-
grade products ... of introducing into plumbing
fixtures many new practical ideas. These inno-
vations representing outstanding contributions to
sanitation are the result of millions of dollars
spent in research, engineering and design.

Many of these important developments by
American - Standard in the field of plumbing are
featured in this book. They include Baths designed
for greater comfort, convenience and safety, like
the Neo-Angle and Master Pembroke; Kitchen
Sinks of one-piece construction with integral

drain boards; the One-Piece Closet with its quiet,
efficient action; Acid-Resisting Enamel ('Standard"
A-R); 'Standard" Chromard Finish and the Re-nu
feature for 'Standard" Fittings. Also featured are
AMERicAN-Standard Plumbing Fixtures in a variety
of colors, which make it possible to decorate
Bathrooms and Kitchens as attractively as any
room in the house.

Only a few of the many different styles and
types of American -Standard Plumbing Fixtures
are shown in this book. Your Master Plumber can
show you our General Catalog covering the
complete line of American -Standard Plumbing
Fixtures and Fittings. He can explain the many
outstanding features and give you costs. Wherever
you see the name American -Standard , you can
be sure it means the latest and best in Plumbing
Fixtures — which cost no more than others.

BATHROOM AND KITCHEN PLANS

Shown on this page are plans for practical and convenient
Bathrooms, Powder Rooms and Kitchens. While these
drawings show rooms of moderate size, a Bathroom can
be installed in a space no larger than 5'x5'. A closet or
unused space as small as 5'x3'6" can be used for a Powder
Room.

New ideas in Kitchen planning also are shown to help
you plan your Kitchen. A 'Standard" sink with utility
cabinets and convenient work space can be had to suit
each individual kitchen plan.

Consult your Architect or Building Contractor who
will gladly give you expert advice in planning your new
Bathroom, Powder Room or Kitchen.

AMERlCAN-c^tattdaifd QUALITY... YOUR SAFE GUIDE TO PLUMBING FIXTURES

You'll weigh color against color . . . you'll judge style
against style ; : ; you'll consult with your Plumbing Con-
tractor and your Architect about plans and placing and
whether one model is preferable to another.

Yes, planning a new bathroom or kitchen is a lot of ex-
citement and a lot of fun. Certainly, it's an important
enough event in the life of a family to warrant all the time
and attention you'll give it. But there's one detail you won't
have to worry about! The quality of American -Standard
Plumbing Fixtures. For whatever colors, styles or models

of fixtures you choose from this complete line, the
American -Standard label is your surety of lasting satisfaction.

A long time ago, American -Standard designers proved
that colorful beauty, brilliant style, advanced features and
fine materials, could all be combined in Plumbing Fixtures
—and yet have them cost no more than others. By rigid
adherence to this principle, and through constant develop-
ment of better products to meet modern needs, the leader-
ship of American -Standard Plumbing Fixtures has been
maintained.

THE NEW DUO-USE BATH .

The picture above illustrates how truly beautiful and
versatile may be the color scheme and decoration for a
Duo-Use Bathroom. Shown are the Master One- Piece
Closet and Strate-Line Lavatory in Tang Red, creating
a pleasing color contrast to the Neo- Angle Bath in
Ivoire de Medici,

MERiCAN-c$ta«da^d FIRST!

Here's the very latest idea for the
home of tomorrow — a double duty
bathroom that two people can use
at the same timel

It's practical. And it's economi-
cal. No extra fixtures or piping.
Just a simple partition with con-
necting door divides the bathroom
but doubles its use! Put the bathtub
and shower in one section— the lav-
atory and water closet in the other.
The central partition gives you ex-
tra wall space for cabinets and much
needed closets. You can have sep-
arate entrances from two connecting
rooms or hall— or two entrances from
a master bedroom.

The Duo-Use plan— introduced
by American -Standard — permits
many different arrangements for
homes, hotels and apartments.

BATHROOM AND A POWDER ROOM

PLANNED FOR Utility, STYLED FOR ffiecudif

The beauty that catches the eye in these two rooms starts and
takes its life from American - Standard Plumbing Fixtures in color.
The powder room that adds so much from the standpoint of con-
venience requires little space. You can be assured that a home with
a powder room and bathroom such as shown on this page is mod-
ern and well-planned from the standpoint of plumbing. These
rooms solve the problem known in so many homes which have
insufficient plumbing equipment. American - Standard fixtures con-
tributing to the beauty of these rooms come in white and a wide
variety of colors.

Fixtures in I voire de Medici bring the
warmth of sunlight into this practi-
cal, moderately priced bathroom. Fix-
tures shown are Master Pembroke
Bath, Hexagon Lavatory, Compact
Closet.

Striking wall and floor decorations accent
the deep Royal Copenhagen Blue fixture

STRIKING BEAUTY... IN A WIDE PRICE RANGE

American -Standard Plumbing Fixtures
permit you to plan a bathroom that is
distinctly different — and still stay with-
in your budget. The clean lines, the rich
colors, the sound designs that charac-
terize American -^tattdard Plumbing
Fixtures are present in every price range.
Colored fixtures lend extra charm and
distinction.

(On Opposite Page) Clair de Lune Blue sets
the color key for this charming bathroom
against walls of dusty rose and green. Fix-
tures are the Standard" Master Pembroke
Bath, One-Piece Closet, Companion Lavatory.

(Above) Fixtures in Corallin give this bathroom distinc-
tion. Standard" Marledge Lavatory, Compact Closet

as well.

THE Standard" NEO-ANGLE—
8 Ma/Aiua Sea/ttte* IN A SINGLE BATH

It's just four feet square . . . yet the Neo-Angle Bath pro-
vides roomier bathing space than most baths. Two integral
corner seats and a host of other features bring new conven-
ience and comfort to bathing. In addition, its structural ad-
vantages bring new freedom to the planning of bathrooms. It
fits into wall lengths too short for the average bath; in con-
necting baths, it saves valuable space between bedrooms; it
leaves room for closet or storage without reducing bathroom
floor space — makes it possible in fact, to plan smart, roomy
bathrooms in hitherto difficult places, or bring new luxury to
rooms of normal size. Available in both recess and corner styles.

tures are, Companion Lavatory and Master One- Piece Closet.

Standard" BATHS . . .
SATISFY EVERY BATHING NEED

Modern utility as well as outward beauty distinguish these 'Standard"
built-in Baths — the Neo- Angle and Master Pembroke.

The Neo-Angle and Master Pembroke incorporate advanced fea-
tures which have set new standards in plumbing fixtures. They are
lower than old-style baths, making it easier to get in and out. The
bathing space is roomier; the broader, flatter bottom provides extra
comfort — as well as extra safety for the standing shower. Something
of the convenience of the Neo -Angle's corner seats is provided by
the rim seat of the recessed Master Pembroke, while the corner
model gains safety and convenience from the wide flat rim.

All 'Standard" Baths are enamel on rigid cast iron, made in white
and eleven colors.

^tandattf" WATER CLOSETS HAVE A HOST OF ADVANTAGES

Since the 1880's, American- Standard has pioneered in the develop-
ment of the water closet . . . contributing to increased sanitation,
greater efficiency, new beauty . . . creating a complete line suitable
for all needs and all budgets.

How well this ideal has been met is evidenced in the advanced de-
sign and the variety of the closets shown here. From the superb
Master One-Piece . . . through the popular close-coupled tank and
bowl closets ... to the inexpensive Modernus, they combine the
utmost in beauty with efficient, dependable service. They harmonize
effectively with 'Standard" baths and lavatories. Made of smooth,
hard, permanently non-absorbent genuine vitreous china, in white
and striking colors. Matching Church Seats come in the same colors.

afresh appearance, points up the beauty of the whole bathroom.

THESE BEAUTIFUL '^tattdattf' COLORS ALLOW YOU TO EXPRESS YOUR INDIVIDUALITY IN BATHROOM AND KITCHEN!

American -Standard Fixtures come in white
and black and the beautiful colors shown
above. Even though these colors are closely
approximated in this book, you must see
the actual fixtures to really know the depth
of tone and the fine glossy texture of these
fixtures in color.

When choosing a color scheme, the fix-
ture color should be selected first, the har-

monizing colors for walls, floor and ceiling
second, and the colors for the decorative
accents last. Walls should generally be in
light pastel colors with the ceiling lighter,
and the floor darker than the walls. Five
colors which include the fixture, wall, floor,
ceiling and accent colors are usually consid-
ered necessary for an interesting color effect.
Brilliant colors can be used in small areas

and decorations for cheerful accents.

With the variety of 'Standard" Colors,
there are endless possibilities for creating
interiors that are individual in decoration
and design. Those who are timid about color
can safely follow the principles outlined
here, and with American - Standar d Fixtures in
color you can obtain unique and interest-
ing color effects in bathrooms and kitchens.

culating around the coils. Consult your Heating Contractor for information.
